We address some open issues regarding the characterization of double auctions. Our model is a two-sided commodity market with either finitely or infinitely many traders. We first unify existing formulations for both finite and infinite markets and generalize the characterization of market...

We study the dynamics of price discovery in decentralized two-sided markets. There exist memoryless dynamics that converge to the core in which agents' actions depend only on their current payoff. However, we show that for any such dynamic the convergence time can grow exponentially in the...
